Senior Simulation Engineer

What you will do

• Work closely with our data scientists, machine learning engineers and clients to develop an understanding of the physics and engineering challenges we are solving
• Setup and build CFD & multi-physics models to simulate and understand complex real world phenomena
• Automate CFD/FEA & simulation pipelines to enable fast optimisation and parametric CAD coupling
• Use on premise HPC and cloud resources to accelerate high fidelity models beyond smart model setup and meshing choices
• Own the delivery of technical workstreams, potentially while mentoring more junior colleagues
• Work at the intersection of CAE and data science, generating highly accurate results and predictions in conjunction with advanced machine & deep learning models
• Continuously apply and improve engineering best practices and standards and coach your colleagues in their adoption

What you bring to the table

• Enthusiasm about using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and potentially other multi-physics numerical methods for science and engineering, plus ideally interest in data science and machine learning approaches
• Ability to scope and effectively deliver projects
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to analyse issues, identify causes, and recommend solutions quickly
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills - with teams and customers alike
• (For more experienced candidates) Passion and track record of managing, mentoring and coaching more junior colleagues
• 3-6 years’ experience in a CFD expert role, with exposure to:
• Operation of leading CFD platforms, especially STAR-CCM+, but also Fluent/CFX and OpenFoam
• Setup and solving of complex multi-physics problems
• Building CFD models from scratch, from geometry clean-up to post-processing
• Thorough knowledge of fluid dynamics and related physics
• Advanced skills in meshing, incl. mesh manipulation and adaptive/dynamic mesh techniques
• Workflow automation, parametric CAD and coupling with other software/code for CO-simulation and optimization
• Ideally advanced Python and Java coding stills
• Expertise in model correlation and real world validation
• Experience in HPC and cloud solving
• FEA knowledge and experience with Simcenter 3D(Nastran) or Abaqus will be a big advantage

What we offer

• Be part of something larger: Make an impact and meaningfully shape an early-stage company. Work on some of the most exciting and important topics there are. Do something you can be proud of
• Work with a fun group of colleagues that support you, challenge you and help you grow. We come from many different backgrounds, but what we have in common is the desire to operate at the very top of our fields and solve truly challenging problems in science and engineering. If you are similarly capable, caring and driven, you'll find yourself at home here
• Experience a truly flat hierarchy. Voicing your ideas is not only welcome but encouraged, especially when they challenge the status quo
• Work sustainably, striking the right balance between work and personal life. Be able to properly switch off in the evening and during weekends. What matters is the quality of our work
• Receive a competitive compensation and equity package, in addition to plenty of perks such as generous vacation and parental leave, complimentary office food, as well as fun outings and events 
• Work in a flexible setting, at our lovely London Shoreditch office, and a good proportion from home if so desired. Get the opportunity to occasionally visit our customers' engineering sites and experience first-hand how our work is transforming their ways of working  
• Use first-class equipment for working in-office or remotely, including HPC
